I would first try a different USB cable then if that doesn't work try another PC. It also appears that your trying to flash the B partition and not the A partition of your device

What next
@enzyne Ok just tried a new cable and a new pc and niether did work. Also how do i flash to Partition a of the device and would the be the source of my problems? because right now i can go into recoverymode and the bootloader screen and that is it.

Not partition found?
Now when i try to flash Slot a it says "FAILED (remote: No such partition.)"

Same on slot b could be because the same img is on there

To be clear you still have an unlocked bootloader correct? What platform tools are you using? The latest ones from google?

I am using the latest Platform-tools (ADB/Fastboot) tools from google and the bootloader is unlocked. My problem is that when i try to flash the factory image all it does is spit out the Command Flash Error. I got it into recovery mode by flashing boot.img to the two slots (a and b) and i tried to sideload the OTA but i got a compatibility error so now im stuck on what to do

Now i feel like an idiot i just had to flash 8.0 and now it is working and is stock

There is another way. You can edit the checkpoint to override and flash any version of bootloader.

SOLVED BY TRIAL. IN CASE ANYONE ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME ERRORS, DO THIS -->
OPEN THE image-walleye-opm1.1****.zip in winzip, winrar, 7z - and open the android-info.txt by notepad++ or noptepad and edit the "require version-bootloader=mw.8898-002.00***.*** to the one that is asked for in the cmd error log and rerun the flash-all.bat

i soft bricked my pixel 2.. can anyone help?

i unlocked the bootloader used twrp to install magisk and installed a custom kernel, all of that went fine, then i decided to try and flash twrp which also worked... reinstalled magisk and kernel etc and it was getting stuck at the google logo,
i then decided to try and uninstall twrp and now i do not get the google logo, it won't go past the bootloader screen, bootloader seems to be functional and is accepting fastboot requests, however, the recovery is not working no matter what option i choose it will always take me back to the bootloader, tried reflashing stock images to get it working again but im getting an error with the bootloader remote command flash error.
any help is appreciated

Download the factory image for your current build.Unzip.
In flash-all, remove the -w so it doesn't wipe your device.
Ensure you have newest ADB &Fastboot.
While your device is in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
Ensure you see your device serial number
Double click flash-all
That should reflash recovery so you can start over.
NOTE: You cannot flash TWRP, Kernel, and Magisk all at the same time. It causes issues.
Read this thread: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye). There are a lot of people that have had issues and have had help solving within it.

Are you on 8.0 or 8.1?
Which bootloader are you on?
If you are in the bootloader, does it have the error line at the bottom?
If you cycle your volume buttons and reboot bootloader, does the error go away?
If the error goes away, try flash-all again.
If not:
From the bootloader, try booting the TWRP image.
If that works, reinstall TWRP using the zip.
Ensure you are using the 3.2.1.0 IMG and ZIP. Mismatching will cause problems.
I think you might have caused an issue when you deleted the TWRP recovery without replacing the stock recovery.
This post here might help.
Replace the Magisk with current version.

You probably have already done it, but ensure you have the newest ADB, that's what screwed me up.
I had the same problem turns out I wasn't using the latest platform tools.
I couldn't do anything. Would boot strait to bootloader. I couldn't even power down and plug I to charge. It would take me to bootloader with an error. I managed to screw up even more by flashing the wrong image using old tools. Then I lost all options except bootloader ( no recovery or download mode).
I feel as long as you have an unlocked bootloader and you are able to use fastboot you shouldn't worry. I'm only saying this because I was scared as hell haha.
I did notice it would try to boot when switching boot slots. But I screwed that up too by trying to flash with old tools. In the end all I needed was latest Platform tools:

this is what happens if i try to flash the version with the same bootloader as the one that it says is on the device

It still sounds like you are not using the latest tools. Are you installing the platform tools or are you using the extracted zip?
the script is going to use whatever is installed on your system.
The first thing I did was download: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
I used this image Android 8.1 stock: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb.zip
I extracted platform tools to my desktop. I opened the file location and did a Shift > Right click - within the folder containing the tools and opened CMD or Powershell( or you can just CD to the directory).
I copied all the commands from the script and ran them one at a time making sure I was using the tools from the zip file and not my system.
and just went down the line.

It still sounds like you are not using the latest tools. Are you installing the platform tools or are you using the extracted zip?
the script is going to use whatever is installed on your system.
The first thing I did was download: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
I used this image Android 8.1 stock: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/taimen-opm1.171019.011-factory-2df1c1cb.zip
I extracted platform tools to my desktop. I opened the file location and did a Shift > Right click - within the folder containing the tools and opened CMD or Powershell( or you can just CD to the directory).
I copied all the commands from the script and ran them one at a time making sure I was using the tools from the zip file and not my system.
and just went down the line.

im doing exactly what i'm being told to but i'm still getting the same remote command flash error and the boot slot is set to a it won't let me change it to b
okay i have an update i'm all up and running again everything is fine, turns out i had to download the older version of oreo 8.0.0 from november the latest november update, then i had to download a slightly older version of fastboot and that seems to have fixed it just ran the flash-all batch file thanks everyone for their input
Nice! Now that I think of it I did try flashing Oreo 8.0 before I tried flashing 8.1. 8.0 didn't work by itself tho. So then I flashed 8.1. Maybe that's the trick to fix the partitions.
Thanks a lot

Thank you for the idea of using an older version of fastboot. I somehow screwed up my Pixel 2 and loaded bootloader 59 on it and couldn't update it back to 66. I had the right image but was still using the newest version of fastboot. Ended up with 26.0.2 which was the first version with Pixel 2 support. It can be found here: https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-platform-tools-adb-fastboot-r-26-0-0/
Thanks again! :good:
Unlocked my pixel 2 and tried to root through magisk and kinda screwed it up. Tried flashing older Oreo 8.0 and 8.1 as you guys tried before but now I cant get past the fastboot screen. Whenever I try to load the earlier 8.0 it tells me it requires 8.1 to upgrade. any ideas would help

My dude, you would not believe the hell I went through to figure this out. So it started with me getting the Verizon Pixel 2's bootloader unlocked. I downloaded TWRP onto it, rooted it, and then downloaded a ZIP that would add various modifications to my version of android. Well, I downloaded it, flashed it , and of course it didn't work as intended. Tried finding a way to undo what I'd done (absolutely imbecilic me, I didn't back up my phone WHEN THERE WAS NO SYSTEM IMAGE FOR A VERIZON PHONE YET). I figured the Google images would work fine, but they put you through hell and highwater before they do. I attempted to revert to the current stock image. It screwed my whole system up. Couldn't boot into android, couldn't boot into ANY recovery, etc. It was essentially bricked. I went through countless different errors and threads and forums and files, until I found this one right here. Tried reverting to the old version of Oreo with old ADB and fastboot. Progress, no more error popping up. Then I tried booting up and it stayed in fastboot. Tried then updating to the latest version available from Google as you had and got the exact same line of code. With the OLD ADB AND FASTBOOT and with a file I had downloaded and tinkered with earlier and with the LATEST IMAGE FROM GOOGLE (after your step), I tried it, came up with several "faileds" and other errors, but after the script was done, I rebooted and it got to the boot animation (as it had done before) and FINALLY brought my phone to the setup wizard.
The file I used was this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/development/tool-deuces-bootloop-recovery-flashing-t3725778
Recap:
Download old ADB and Fastboot
Download the latest Android 8.0 Oreo Stock Image
Flash all bat
Download latest Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image
From there, put the downloaded script in with the image file of the latest available Android 8.1 Oreo Stock Image and run the script.
Should show errors
Reboot once it's finished
Should be fine.
Keep in mind, this was a Verizon Pixel 2 and it worked fine for me. Couldn't guarantee it'd work for you, and there may have even been precursor steps before this post that I took and didn't keep track of that might have contributed to an extremely lucky brick save.
Long story short folks, if you're on an unlocked bootloader Verizon, don't do anything you can't live with for a while until we've got a proper backdoor developed for us.
Read my message right above your original post. Get the image for oreo 8.0 (nov) and use the fastboot version fron the site I linked to. Should have the 59 bootloader. After it boots, just do the OTA update twice. Check the build number and then get that image from Google to root the boot.img file. All good.
Yupp, just used the tool and saved a couple hundred bucks and a pair of underwear. Really is phone saver. And I'm for sure going to wait until a less risky root is available. I was able to flash the tool with factory image 66 version bootloader, just make sure to have tool in the same folder as the unzipped bootloader and files.
I haven't posted in at least 2 years. Wanted to thank everyone in this thread for the detailed troubleshooting. I locked my bootloader without doing the prep work and this saved me from a fiasco the week before my vacation.

Tried to downgrade and now stuck [ HELP NEEDED ]

I had Sailfish-US-PVT edition Google Pixel I tried to downgrade from Beta Android P to lower version and I faced this error through bootloop and now I am stuck. I need HELP big time. Much appreciate the help.

I too faced this issue. I think the free memory in your hard disk is low. Try in a drive with more free memory

Can not flash Android

First off, this is my first time posting so not sure if I am posting in the right thread. Now for my question, I was reverting back to Android O from the developer preview of Android P as I wanted to root and use a custom rom. When doing so I kept getting an error, I then tried flashing individual files which seemed to work however it ended up being a broken version, I fixed this by factory resetting. Thinking all was well I tried flashing TWRP and it would not let me flash saying that there is not recovery, something along those lines. I can use the phone in android 8 with all the apps I need, so my phone is not a brick. I would appreciate any help that can help me properly flash android so that I can root my phone and get a custom rom.

I had exactly this issue.

You need to update adb fastboot.
Is the drive that you have the zip file saved on nearing it's storage capacity? I suspect it is.
They key line in your log is, "Zip: unable to truncate file to 485105848: File too large" You will get this file if there isn't enough room to properly unzip the file completely. It takes up a decent amount of space on the hard drive.

Should not be the issue since nothing was on the phone to begin with, other than the first running system.
My issue was resetting the path in windows.
https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
If it helps this is what I followed.
Your phone should boot into fastbootd when flashing. That's when I realised it was flashing ok.

It's not the space on the phone. You don't download and install these factory images from your phone. You have to download them to a computer and install them that way. If you computer is short on storage space, it will give the same error when it tries to upzip the factory image during the installation process. I've had it happen to me before and had to clear up space on my computer in order to finish flashing a factory image.
For example, if you have ADB installed on your C: drive and your C: drive doesn't have several GB of storage space available, you will get this error. It won't help if you have space available on other drives, because ADB only interacts with the folder it is installed on. So having 100 GB free on another drive won't help as an example.

That as wll should not be the case or the unzip will be larger than 30 GB? That is the space left on my notebook

No. As long as that space is available on your main drive (see my edit above), 30 GB should be plenty of space. I'm thinking it takes around 5 GB if I remember correctly.

Glad to hear you're sorted. It took me a while to work out I just needed to update fastboot. Someone on XDA helped me with it.

I had the exact same problem as you did. I tried different versions of the stock ROM, I tried different versions of the fastboot tool (including sdkmanager --update to get to the latest, etc.). It failed at the same time, every time: "Sending sparse 'vendor_a'"
What actually worked for me was plugging the USB cable into a port directly on the laptop, instead of a hub built into the docking station.
**** you not, worked perfectly. Same cable, same fastboot binary, same laptop, same OS, just switching to a different port did the trick. Don't plug the cable into a USB hub.

I followed the instructions on Google's site, but when I ran the script, it failed.
